ABSTRACTThis paper considers actuator redundancy management for a redundant multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) under actuators failures. Different approaches are proposed: using robust control (passive fault tolerance), and reconfigurable control (active fault tolerance). The robust controller is designed using high-order super-twisting sliding mode techniques, and handles the failures without requiring information from a Fault Detection scheme. The Active Fault-Tolerant Control (AFTC) is achieved through redistributing the control signals among the healthy actuators using reconfigurable multiplexing and pseudo-inverse control allocation. The Fault Detection and Isolation problem is also considered by proposing model-based and model-free modules. The proposed techniques are all implemented on a coaxial octorotor UAV. Different experiments with different scenarios were conducted for the validation of the proposed strategies. Finally, advantages, disadvantages, application considerations and limitations of each method are examined through quantitative and qualitative studies.

This paper presents the development and experimentation of Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) for sensorless Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive with stator resistance tuning. In the fault-tolerant inverter, a redundant leg is added to replace the faulted leg. Consequently, the proposed inverter is a modified topology inverter with fault-tolerant capability, which can be configured as 3-phase 8-switch inverter. The detection of the faulty leg is based only on the output inverter currents measurement. To make toggle to a redundant leg in case of fault occurrence, a Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) algorithm is proposed in this paper. Experimental results are presented using a 1.4[Formula: see text]kW, three poles three-phases PMSM. These results show that the proposed FDI algorithm is able to detect and to isolate the open-phase fault in PMSM drive.

Active Fault Tolerant Control

In order to keep wind turbines connected and in operation at all times despite the occurrence of some faults, advanced fault detection and accommodation schemes are required. To achieve this goal, this paper proposes to use the Linear Parameter Varying approach to design an Active Fault Tolerant Control for wind turbines. This Active Fault Tolerant Control is integrated with a Fault Detection and Isolation approach. Fault detection is based on a Linear Parameter Varying interval predictor approach while fault isolation is based on analysing the residual fault signatures. To include fault-tolerance in the control system (already available in the considered wind turbine case study based on the well known SAFEPROCESS benchmark), the information of the Fault Detection and Isolation approach block is exploited and it is used in the implementation of a virtual actuator and sensor scheme. The proposed Active Fault Tolerant Control is evaluated using fault scenarios which are proposed in the wind turbine benchmark to assess its performance. Results show the effectiveness of the proposed Active Fault Tolerant Control approach in faulty situation.

Active Fault Tolerant Control

Faults and failures in the system components are two main reasons for the instability and the degradation in control performance. In recent decades, fault-tolerant control (FTC) approaches have been introduced to improve the resiliency of control systems against faults and failures. In general, FTC techniques are classified into active and passive approaches. This paper reviews fault and failure causes in control systems and discusses the latest solutions that are introduced to make the control system resilient.The recent achievements in fault detection and isolation (FDI) approaches and active FTC designs are investigated. Furthermore, a thorough comparison of several different aspects is conducted to understand the advantage and disadvantages of various FTC techniques to motivate researchers to further developing FTC and FDI approaches.

This paper describes a novel thruster fault-tolerant control system (FTC) for open-frame remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). The proposed FTC consists of two subsystems: a model-free thruster fault detection and isolation subsystem (FDI) and a fault accommodation subsystem (FA). The FDI subsystem employs fault detection units (FDUs), associated with each thruster, to monitor their state. The robust, reliable and adaptive FDUs use a model-free pattern recognition neural network (PRNN) to detect internal and external faulty states of the thrusters in real time. The FA subsystem combines information provided by the FDI subsystem with predefined, user-configurable actions to accommodate partial and total faults and to perform an appropriate control reallocation. Software-level actions include penalisation of faulty thrusters in solution of control allocation problem and reallocation of control energy among the operable thrusters. Hardware-level actions include power isolation of faulty thrusters (total faults only) such that the entire ROV power system is not compromised. The proposed FTC system is implemented as a LabVIEW virtual instrument (VI) and evaluated in virtual (simulated) and real-world environments. The proposed FTC module can be used for open frame ROVs with up to 12 thrusters: eight horizontal thrusters configured in two horizontal layers of four thrusters each, and four vertical thrusters configured in one vertical layer. Results from both environments show that the ROV control system, enhanced with the FDI and FA subsystems, is capable of maintaining full 6 DOF control of ROV in the presence of up to 6 simultaneous total faults in the thrusters. With the FDI and FA subsystems in place the control energy distribution of the healthy thrusters is optimised so that the ROV can still operate in difficult conditions under fault scenarios.

This paper presents a finite frequency-based active fault tolerant control approach for the compensation of unknown failures in linear time-delay plants. An integration of fault detection filter based on observer technology and [Formula: see text] controller in residual feedback form is considered in the active fault tolerant control system. Different from the traditional schemes, exact fault estimation is not necessary in the proposed active fault tolerant control. To achieve the desired system performance when a fault occurs, the residual is directly embedded in the control loop as a feedback term to compensate the influence of fault. By employing the Generalized Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov lemma, we derive the sufficient conditions of the existence of such an active fault tolerant control plant, and iterative algorithms are applied to obtain the solutions to the fault detection filter and controller parameter matrices. Finally, simulation results are proposed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed scheme.

Active Fault Tolerant Control

This paper proposes an active fault-tolerant control scheme based on a gain-scheduled H∞ design strategy. Under the assumption that the effects of faults on the system can be of affine parameter dependence, a reconfigurable robust H∞ controller is developed. The resulting controller is a function of the fault effect factors, which can be derived online from the residual vector of the fault detection and isolation (FDI) mechanism. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a non-linear double inverted pendulum system with a fault in the motor tachometer loop is considered. The adaptive fault-tolerant controller recovers well from the unstable system with loop failure.

Active Fault Tolerant Control

To solve the problems with the existing active fault-tolerant control system, which does not consider the cooperative control of the drive system and steering system or accurately relies on the vehicle model when one or more motors fail, a multi-input and multi-output model-free adaptive active fault-tolerant control method for four-wheel independently driven electric vehicles is proposed. The method, which only uses the input/output data of the vehicle in the control system design, is based on a new dynamic linearization technique with a pseudo-partial derivative, aimed at solving the complex and nonlinear issues of the vehicle model. The desired control objectives can be achieved by the coordinated adaptive fault-tolerant control of the drive and steering systems under different failure conditions of the drive system. The error convergence and input-output boundedness of the control system are proven by means of stability analysis. Finally, simulations and further experiments are carried out to validate the effectiveness and real-time response of the fault-tolerant system in different driving scenarios. The results demonstrate that our proposed approach can maintain the longitudinal speed error (within 3%) and lateral stability, thereby improving the safety of the vehicles.

For the chattering problem in the traditional sliding mode observer-based fault estimation, a second order sliding mode observer based on the Super-twisting algorithm was proposed. In order to avoid the cumbersome process of proving the stability of the Super-twisting algorithm, a Lyapunov function was adopted. An active fault tolerant control law was designed based on the fault estimation. Finally, simulation show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
